Hey everyone, I am a 28 year old ex-Teaching Assistant in the South West UK who wants to find a new industry to go into, but it seems like there is no entry-level opportunities out there! Or at least none for someone in my age bracket. I want to pivot away from the Education world and find something new to do. Any ideas or help would be appreciated!

It's kind of hard to offer useful advice on an app like this. You're a stranger asking for advice from strangers. We don't know anything about your skills and interests.

What you should do is have an honest conversation with someone who you trust to give you honest advice. Try to narrow down career paths that work for you and then come back here to ask specific questions.

I would quite frankly ask ChatGPT/ Gemini if you know how to prompt it and just ask with your skills/ experience/ interests etc.. what you could get into now. It’s not always the most accurate but at least it should give you a few good options. Best of luck!

Why is education deemed more valuable on a pay scale than experience? Employers will pay someone with a degree and no experience a greater salary, than someone who has exhibited the experience.

Hi everyone. I'm pretty early in my career (just over 1 YOE) & not really enjoying my current role as a Consultant/Developer because of the type of projects I get combined with some mobility issues.

Hi! I’ve been in hospitality & management for over 10 years and desperate for a career pivot. As anyone in restaurants knows, the work is ~80 hours a week and often making less on salary than your own tipped-wage employees. I have experience with training, team building, HR, financial analytics, client needs, communications and so much more. Does anyone have recommendations on a new career path or job listings to investigate??

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…
